On-Set Video from 'Kick-Ass' with Nic Cage

DateTuesday, October 7, 2008 at 10:05PM
Nicolas Cage will co-star in a new graphic novel adaptation of Mark Millar's Kick-Ass. Around the time this photo was taken, Cage downplayed the level of violence that would be in the movie. After all, Millar wrote Wanted, which some people thought was exceedingly violent (a charge I don't understand), and Cage says he's against too much gore and bloodshed, anyway, so he never would've signed on if that was the case.

And now we have our first on-set videos for Kick-Ass for your amusement. It's hard to tell, of course, because these aren't edited videos and indeed, aren't actually footage from the movie, but does it appear that director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake) is on the right track?

I haven't read the graphic novel, so I'm not a good judge, but the synopsis for Kick-Ass is definitely cinematic. I think Vaughn has proven himself, despite the disappointing box office for Stardust. Hopefully, we'll see some more substantive video in the months ahead and we can get a better gauge on what's happening on the set.

It's a wonderful comic so far. The book is VERY bloody... and FULL of violence... so, how much gore and bloodshed is too much for Nicolas Cage?
